In today’s uncertain world, our young people face more challenges than ever. The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award teaches them resilience, and equips them with the self-confidence to conquer these challenges, and set themselves up for successful lives.

Our mission is to give all young people, regardless of socio economic, cultural and ethnic background, the opportunity to take part in the Award programme—thanks to our generous supporters, we are reaching more young people than ever before. A gift in your will would enable us to reach future generations of young people who would most benefit from the Award, but who could not afford to take part otherwise.

Proven to help with job and study prospects, the Award has transformed the lives of millions of young people since it first began in 1962; it’s only because of support from people like you that many more lives will be changed in the future, and we thank you sincerely.
